Course content

The Master Thesis is usually done in one of the research fields of the department. As a rule, the work is done during the 5th year of study, normally in the 10th semester. Students should plan the choice of the courses as early as possible in order to take courses that are both relevant for the field of specialization and give a certain breadth. In the thesis, the candidate shall reflect briefly on its relevance for the candidate as a teacher, and its contribution to/relevance for sustainable development in light of for example the UN sustainability goals or sustainable development as a multidisciplinary subject in Norwegian schools, as described in the National Curriculum.
